Editing Denali Borough, Alaska (section)

==Popular culture==
In the ''[[Twilight (novel series)|Twilight]]'' Saga by [[Stephenie Meyer]], the Denali vampire coven (consisting of Tanya, Kate, Irina, Eleazar and Carmen and later Garrett) lives in Denali because of the lack of sunlight.

The film ''[[Into the Wild (film)|Into the Wild]]'', based on a [[Into the Wild (Krakauer book)|book]] of the same name, featured a bus where [[Christopher McCandless]] died became a destination for film fans. The 1940s bus was taken to a remote trail about 60 years ago (from 2020) by a road crew, according to Denali Borough Mayor, Clay Walker. Visitors to the site had to cross the [[Teklanika River]]. In 2019 a newlywed Belarusian woman drowned trying to cross the swollen river on her way to the site. Another drowning took place in 2010. A stranded Brazilian had to be rescued in April 2020 and five Italians were rescued in February 2020, with one suffering from severe frostbite. In total 15 bus-related search and rescue operations for visitors to the bus were carried out between 2009 and 2017. In June 2020 the bus was removed because of public safety concerns. It was air-lifted by a US army [[Boeing CH-47 Chinook|Chinook helicopter]]. Alaskan authorities are quoted as saying the bus would be kept in a "secure location" until a decision is made about its future. Clay Walker said, "It (the bus) is part of our history and it does feel a little bittersweet to see a piece of our history go down the road."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53106441 |title='Into The Wild' bus removed from Alaska wilderness |work=BBC News |date=19 June 2020 |access-date=19 June 2020}}</ref>
